Things Fall Apart

I was wondering if anyone else on this forum is familiar with this work. The depiction of a stable pagan community being undermined by Christian missionaries is one that I feel is sympathetic to the philosophy endorsed by this site.

I enjoyed this book.

I think most teachers try to look for a movie poster style synopsis and that fails; the title speaks for itself.

For example, while the missionaries in it are clearly useless agents of corruption, they're not the bad guys. Nor is this an anti-racist novel (it inherently endorses caste distinctions among Africans).

The title says it all: Things Fall Apart, or how societies end up in the shitter through disorganization -- not someone slashing them in half.
